(Xinhua) -- One of the jailed Abu Sayyaf bad turbans, who bolted its cell and beat feet last year, was killed by Philippine Marines following a raid in his safe house Thursday in the southern Philippine province of Basilan.Adel Kamla was killed in a brief firefight with the pursuing elements of the 1st Marine Brigade in Masola village about 6:30 a. m., local time.
Brig. Gen. Eugenio Clemen, 1st Marine Brigade commander said his forces got a tip about the presence of Kamla frequenting the area prompting them to conduct entrapment to recapture the runaway.
But Kamla, armed with gun, resisted arrest, prompting the Marines to shoot him.
Clemen said Kamla was one of the 31 Abu Sayyaf Islamic fascisti who beat feet from the Basilan's prison last Dec. 13, 2009 when the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) stormed the detention facility and rescued its leader Dan Laksaw alias Asnawi.
